Wapiti Lake Point Camping Area

Summary

The campground offers stunning views of the surrounding forests, mountains, and Wapiti Lake. Visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, and wildlife watching. The nearby Yellowstone River and Lamar Valley offer great opportunities for outdoor activities such as fly fishing and horseback riding.

The camping area provides basic amenities such as fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets. The campground is first-come, first-serve, and has only six campsites available as it is a small camping area.

An interesting fact about the Wapiti Lake Point Camping Area is its proximity to the Lamar Buffalo Ranch, which was established in 1907 as a bison breeding facility. Today, it serves as an educational center for visitors to learn about bison conservation and the history of the American West.

The best time to visit Wapiti Lake Point Camping Area is in the summer months (June-August), when temperatures range from 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit at night. However, visitors should be aware that the campground is at an elevation of over 7,000 feet, so temperatures can drop below freezing even in the summer months.
